Victoria Embankment Gardens

Victoria Embankment Gardens is a peaceful spot with well-kept paths, colourful flowerbeds, statues (notably one of The Bard himself, Robert Burns) and fountains. It opened in the late 1800s as part of the Embankment project, which helped transform this stretch of the river into what we see today. I passed through during my London adventures and couldn’t help but stop and take it all in. There are views of the Thames and the London Eye, and plenty of spots to stop if you fancy a break.
